If only it had expandable memory. That's the only thing that's limiting it.

There might also be warranty issue.
software side you can get around all the limitation listed by rooting it and putting in stock android.
imo i think the amazon prime service is great i would definately give it a try, like most online media solution us canadian once again get the short end of the stick....

Thinking of getting this for light note taking/multimedia tablet, but with the limited storage, I might hold off.
For anyone who has a hold of this, is the reading experience any different? People say you can't read on NON e-ink displays for hours, but we do this all the time when we face our computer screens daily. 
Question: Should i get it and root this? read off this thing ? Or am i just better off sticking with the Kindle touch E-ink reader? The price point between the two really gets me. I can always return my Kindle Touch

I can always return my Kindle Touch | when i was looking for a tablet i was thinking of getting either this or the playbook since they are the same price. i went with a playbook b/c of lack of amazon services to canada on the fire, and the playbook has bt, micro usb & hdmi ports, double the hd space, front/rear facing camera and a mic.
unless you must have android or are going to live in the US i'd go for a pb.

I haven't used other kindles before, but I don't see why I can't read on this for hours. Hell, I've read on my iphone for hours.
I'm taking this on vacation next week but the 8gb (6gb of free storage to be exact) is really limiting my choice of travel entertainment. It's great just for books and magazines and a couple of games, but without cloud or streaming, this thing fills up fast with just a few movies.
Currently I'm rooted and have access to android and other markets. But when the custom roms are stable enough for me to use, I'll probably switch to it, since the amazon services are useless to us anyways.
BUT, for the price, it's still a decent android tablet, if you're willing to accept (or work around) it's flaws.

from RFD, looks pretty decent for a tablet. For the Specs vs price perspective.
